I have an image in my mind of this man going home to his wife after being told by the army to go home, his wife won't give him permission to go to a dangerous hot war zone and instead he has to go home to her.

Desperate Russian wives threaten to break their husbands' BONES so they are unfit to join war as thousands of men scramble to flee country with airports crammed and huge traffic jams after conscripts are given 'four hours to pack and leave'
Men of fighting age racing to flee Russia amid fears of being conscripted
Huge queues formed at the borders with Mongolia, Finland and Georgia Travellers were interrogated at airports before they were allowed to leave
Thousands of desperate Russians are scrambling to flee the country to dodge Putin's mobilisation, as miles-long queues form to escape into border countries.
Men of fighting age are racing to avoid a potential call-up after Putin ordered Moscow's first mobilisation since World War Two, with plans to immediately start conscripting some 300,000 troops to fight on the frontline.
Many flights were sold out yesterday amid the panic, while others appeared to resort to drastic tactics to avoid the conscription, with Google searches for 'how to break an arm at home' - skyrocketing hours after Putin's speech.
A wife from Tyumen in Siberia said: 'I will not let my husband go. I'll break his both legs. His duty is to raise his children.'
The authorities issued a a special warning issued to potential recruits that they face legal sanctions if they self-harm by breaking arms or legs to avoid the call-up.
Photos and videos have also emerged of airports crowded with young men and heavy traffic near border crossings, driven by fears the country might lock down and send more civilians to war.
Yesterday, flagship carrier Aeroflot said it was not 'yet' banning young men from travelling, suggesting travel restrictions may soon be in place.
And a dramatic night time picture from Vnukovo airport in Moscow shows men trying to escape before they are prevented.

“Russian wives threaten to break their husbands’ BONES”
How is this night different from any other night?
This will hurt me more than it will you!
I have an image in my mind of this man going home to his wife after being told by the army to go home, his wife won't give him permission to go to a dangerous hot war zone and instead he has to go home to her.
The “September 24” stuff has been debunked. It came in a speech where the person speaking clearly mis-spoke. And then corrected themselves.
It was then blown way out of proportion and context.
The internet is a messed up place some times.
Another breathless, hyperbolic headline from the Daily Mail.
This stuff is worse than third-rate fan fiction,
I think it's actually to stop them from drinking vodka. :)
Tell me what is the point of this stupid propaganda when the Russians don’t read it?
It IS all that these people have. The trolls spm it, and the idiots love to have their antique prejudices fed. They don’t really care about the facts.
Why are Daily Mail titles always so long?
If you ask me allowing yourself to be conscripted to go and fight a war of aggression for some deluded pseudo tsar like Putin is cowardice. Moral cowardice.
Why do I feel like this is a GROSS exaggeration, if any part of it at all is even actually true at all.
Why does this smell like propaganda? It make Ukraine feel better and the west—see Putin is (fill in the blank) and will soon be out of power. Then all the Russians will leave Ukraine—all of it. The war will be over and Russia will join the rest of the world and be just like us. No more wars—just a gay happy rainbow world. Then things will be peachy. People are believing the fantasy—but its not real. In truth the world is a mean place and getting meaner each day. Saying something, making cool videos, speaking it loudly, doesn’t make it true. When the mask slips away and the ugly face is seen—that’s when real social change comes—with blood and revolution (another fantasy).
Four hours to pack and leave? That’s way more than the old Royal Navy press gangs used to allow.
Imagine what it’s like reading this article if you were a loyal Dim voting mother living in the U.S. You’re probably thinking: “I wouldn’t let me husband go off on some foolish war either. That is. If I knew what a husband was.”
Russia Stronk! Do not believe Western capitalist pig dog propaganda! Lines at border are from our brother Poles, Romanians, and Lithuanians who are clamoring to enter to Russia to join glorious liberation effort!
Shitshow Joe knows how to evacuate. Maybe he can give some advice. s/
